Robert B’s got it right, this is a beautiful spot, and just over the hill from the CBD. Perfect. The grass seems to be lush and green all twelve months of the year, and is just perfect for an afternoon nap or a weekend picnic with friends – feel free to make it a boozy picnic, because you’re legally allowed to BYO to the park before 10pm any day of the week. It’s such a huge space that I’ve never yet felt like I was encroaching on anyone else’s space. Grab a bite to eat(maybe some fish and chips from the pier?) and enjoy a lazy summer evening in a picturesque corner of town.

I love St David’s Park more than any other park in Hobart; large, in the middle of town and beautiful. Set in almost a natural amphitheatre with a striking heritage rotunda as its focal-point this space is always lush and green and calming and has plenty of shady areas to relax.

Quaint and beautiful park on the perimeter of the Salamanca Markets. A great place to have a lie on the grass and enjoy the fresh air.
